Howard is a genius. Trusted implicitly for years. Trust him with my 62 Jag, and just last week he made my newly acquired strat absolutely perfect to play.

He did work on two of my valuable vintage guitars n I would recommend him to anyone.
Really nice guy too
Unfortunately I got a completely different sounding amp given back to me one week later-and not in a good way.
Crackle removed, but alas, the amp's tone had become muddy and lifeless with a side order of ugly, flabby distortion. Thanks Malcolm.
Tried taking it back and explaining the situation to him, hoping that with a bit of customer feedback the necsssary adjustments could me made. But no such luck im afraid.
He did take it back in the end, only after making it quite clear that my amp simply sounded shit and was badly made to begin with- a Wienbrock ME1 if anyone is interested.
I got the amp back again in the same state i'd initially receieved it back in. I have little doubt the un-apologetic Malcolm had done zero work to the amp since receiving it back. In hindsight, perhaps that was for the best.
I'm not usually one to air sour grapes on the internet, but my experience was really disapointing and counter to your own, so i thought it was worth adding here.
"...1979 I bought a new Gibson Les Paul Custom. After years of gigging I’d worn the frets down so much a refret was required... It began to languish in its Gibson hard case and I played other guitars.
Years later I met David Simmons at blues jams. Mates told me he was also an exemplary luthier.... I made enquiries in the manner of a bluesy undercover agent of all our mutual friends, all agreed, David was "The Man”. In all respects the quality of work exceeded expectation: it's been brought back from the dead really. I am absolutely CHUFFED! I really can't recommend David's work highly enough."
Think rest of story is still on the wall in Ivy Arch Studios, Worthing, with some pics. Highly illuminating if you read the whole piece!Steve let me bring my Strat to his house on a Sunday with very little notice.. He did some soldering, gave me some parts I was missing and some advice.. didn't charge a penny..Top guy!
